How to use Requirement of Package-Diagram-Element in document templates

[Robert Lelieveld]

Hi,

When elements are part of the package being documented, it is possible to use its requirements by enabling:
Package -> Element -> Requirement

To use a diagram as subset it is possible to use linked elements, and thus enable:
Package -> Diagram -> Element

Is it possible to somehow to get to the requirements of the elements in the diagram?
Thank you.

Kind regards,
Robert

Probably not that easy.
There are basically two options
- you write an (SQL) fragment that returns all fields needed from the requirements linked to elements shown in the package
- you use virtual documents and use a (SQL) search to determine the requirements to report on.

Hi Geert,

Thanks for your quick reply!
I will check out the fragment custom query and see what is possible.

While I can retrieve all data, the text in the requirement is added without conversion.
In other words, the markup in HTML is put in the document without actually marking up the text.

Do you know whether there is a way around this?
Or maybe better to use the virtual document option?

look for [Description-Formatted] in the forum and you should find the answer.

I ended up looking at the first template and when selecting both:
Package -> Diagram -> Element, as
Package -> Element -> Requirement
the document contained elements and its requirements (formatted) without SQL statements.

As I noticed I would like to only have a subset of the diagrams elements in the output, I am now looking into virtual documents.

Good stuff!
